MASTERS PROJECT

The master’s project will be your most sustained effort during your time at the journalism school, encompassing both fall and spring semesters. It’s not a thesis in the traditional academic sense; think of it instead as an in-depth exploration of a topic as a journalist would pursue it. Master’s projects can take a variety of forms, some of them incorporating elements from more than one medium: print, photo, audio, video, data. Regardless of format, you’ll work on your project under the guidance of an experienced advisor, who will help you to hone your topic, figure out your reporting strategy and serve as your editor for the duration of the project.

Accounting and Finance

The course examines and emphasizes the basic principles of financial accounting and finance (from the financial manager's perspective) and is sufficiently general to be of interest to all graduate students. We will begin by introducing how financial information is communicated and furthermore used to forecast the financial performance of a firm. Next, we discuss how financial markets and institutions function and are organized with a global perspective. We then present the framework for asset valuation. Finally, we study the capital structure of the firm and how managers can optimize the value of a firm conditional on the choice of financing.

Mechanics of small-scale materials and structures require nonlinear kinematics and/or nonlinear stress vs. strain constitutive relations to predict mechanical behavior. Topics include variational calculus, deformation and vibration of beam, strings, plates, and membranes; fracture, delamination, bulging, buckling of thin films, among others. Thermodynamics of solids will be reviewed to provide the basis for a detailed discussion of nonlinear elastic behavior as well as the study of the equilibrium and stability of surfaces.

Social Enterprise in Community and Econo

Social Enterp-Comm & Econ Dev

Through case studies, guest presentations, literature reviews and interactive class sessions, this course will examine how social enterprise has challenged and transformed models for serving and empowering local communities. We will understand how it has inspired and been applied to business and impact models, and, even mindsets to improve the creation of public value in areas such as health, human services, workforce and small business development. We will also consider the challenges and limitations that have been experienced as social enterprise has been deployed through for-profit and nonprofit entities. Finally, we will explore how the public and private sectors at-large could better support social enterprises to launch, scale and generate greater positive impacts.

UNITED NATIONS & HUMAN RIGHTS

What is the UN track record in promoting and protecting human rights? This intense six-week course will examine the UN human rights standards, mechanisms, institutions and procedures established over the past sixty years and question their effectiveness. With a particular focus on the actions (or lack thereof) of the UN Security Council, the UN Human Rights Council and diverse international judicial institutions like the International Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court, the course will illustrate, through practical case studies, the inherent challenges associated with the protection of human dignity, the enforcement of human rights and the fight against impunity.

UN & CHALLENGE OF PEACEBUILDING

UN & CHAL OF PEACEBUILDIN

Peacebuilding is complex and multi-faceted encompassing security, sustainable development, human rights, reconciliation of past differences, and, ultimately, societal transformation. It is above all else an inherently political process. This course examines the evolution in thinking and approaches to peacebuilding and how it has been put into practice by the United Nations, at both the Headquarters and country levels. We will look at the many stakeholders, the need for partnerships and the challenge of coordination, as well as the tools used by the UN in its support to peacebuilding. We will also extract lessons learned and the conditions for peacebuilding to succeed, with special attention to the UN’s work in supporting peacebuilding at the country level.

UN & MAINT OF INTL PEACE & SEC

The United Nations recently passed its seventieth anniversary and a new Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, was selected by the Security Council to succeed Ban Ki-moon. At this critical juncture, the international system is being challenged to provide adequate responses to the rise of violent extremist groups, waves of refugees arriving in Europe, and to --†fewer but deadlier --armed conflicts. As prevention continues to be elusive and recent - mostly intrastate --armed conflicts have proven to be particularly resistant to peaceful settlement whether through mediation, the deployment of peace operations or peacebuilding projects, the question of the relevance of the UN is posed yet again. Has the Security Council been successful in using the tools at its disposal, from prevention to peace operations and enforcement measures? What has become of the Responsibility to Protect? Is a divided Security Council facing a crisis of relevance? What does it mean for peace operations sent where there is no peace to keep? What are the persisting obstacles to effective prevention? What are the lessons from the evolving partnership with regional organizations? How can peace be sustained over the long term? What will have been Ban Ki Moon's legacy? What are the prospects for UN reform and what could it look like? To address these questions and more, the course will examine the evolving role of the world organization in global security, shaped by its member states with different strategic interests and by the broader geopolitical context in which it operates.

THE UN AND DEVELOPMENT

This six week course provides an overview of the contribution the United Nations development system has made in the sphere of development. The course traces the historical evolution of the UN's contribution in the areas of development cooperation, poverty reduction, environment and climate, human rights, gender and humanitarian action. It explores the emerging role of non-state actors, in particular the private sector and civil society. The last sessions will examine in detail the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030 and the recognition that to be relevant in today's rapidly changing world, the UN must commit itself to major reform. The course will draw extensively from the practical experience of the instructor.

US FOREIGN POLICY

This course examines the foundations, decision-making processes, and substance of American foreign policy, particularly as it has developed over the past fifty years. We explore the role of American political culture, the presidency, Congress, and the foreign policy bureaucracy in helping to determine America's relationship with other states and international organizations. We pay particular attention to the recurring tensions that run through American foreign policy: isolationism v. internationalism, security v. prosperity, diplomacy v. military power, unilateralism v. multilateralism, and realism v. idealism. Each week we will explore a broad theoretical/conceptual theme and then focus on a specific topic that exemplifies a practical application of the theme.
